Reader's Choice!

HAPPY FRIDAY, good people of the blogosphere! YAYYYYY! It's the beginning of the weekend! Today, I have three versions of the cover for The Bird. Please vote via the lil thingy on the right hand side of the blog if you don't mind. You're choosing the cover! Oh my... Yes, I've put my faith in you. -------->

Here's the synopsis:
Stormy Terrabonne's life is about to be changed forever by a bright red cardinal. She soon finds herself being whisked away from all she's ever known to save an entire race of people known as Trobodytes. When she's presented to the Queen, Stormy learns how she's expected to help: By killing an evil wizard named Bordash Bladeslinger and stopping him from cutting down the sacred trees that bind Trogon to Earth.

Now, there are only two trees left. One of the trees presents a double dose of jeopardy: It's also tied to the renewed life of Stormy's mother. While Stormy learns more about the gifts she gained by becoming a Trobodyte, someone manages to poison that all important tree.

It's a race against time as she faces a legion of fairy tale creatures she never knew existed, learns to harness the power within herself to battle Bordash Bladeslinger, and tries to find a way to heal the dying tree before it collapses and takes her mother with it.

I voted for #1, but when it showed the votes it looked like I had voted for #3. Weird. Anyway, I like the black and white with a splash of red, but #3 was a close second. So excited to see what you pick.

I'm torn, but I'm going with #1. I think the type and color scheme really relay the fairy tale qualities of the book. It looks like a book you would pick up and read to your child. I love cover 3 as well. The colors are brilliant and eye catching. I don't think you could go wrong there either, but I'm giving #1 my vote. Thanks for letting us participate in choosing & best of luck. Merry Christmas.
